These beasts were waiting for me on Christmas morning. They're all Winsor & Newton Promarkers with a chisel head at one end and a pointy one at the other. There's the 12 marker "Set 1" at the back, which came with the blender pen at the front thrown in. And there's a set of six flesh tones and one of six neutral tones at the front (because I'm an artist, not a connoisseur of colouring books). And a really cool Winsor & Newton carrying case. There are two duplicated colours (black and one of the greys) but that's not a problem.
I'm looking forward to giving them a go, with some day trips out to draw buildings or, if it's too cold, to draw people from the comfort of a coffee shop. I've ordered an A5 Strathmore Bristol smooth pad and some A4 Winsor & Newton bleedproof marker paper. I'll experiment with both but I've already seen the W&N paper and it's really thin like printer paper so I suspect that the Strathmore pad may end up as the long term solution,
